Thiosulfates decompose to sulfur and sulfur dioxide in acidic solutions (Barberá, J. J., Metzger, A. and Wolf, M. 2000. Sulfites, Thiosulfates, and Dithionites. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry (Online)).
Sulfites decompose to sulfur dioxide in acidic solutions (Housecroft, C. E.; Sharpe, A. G. Inorganic Chemistry, 2nd ed.; Pearson: Harlow (England), 2005, p. 459).
Potential Gas Byproducts
- Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
- Sulfur Oxides (SOx)
